    Careful use of a small prybar should take it off in one piece. It depends how its fixed on, Nails, screws or adhesive. It could also be a combination of those.
    If there is adhesive on the back of the skirting you would be better of replacing it. Its a pain in the ring to take that off wood, been there, done that!;)

    Also, the old skirting will probably make the new tiles look bad.

    I reckon you should just replace it.
